TCE
¥1100.00
Product Name: Trichloroethylene (TCE)
Chemical Formula: C₂HCl₃
Key Features: Colorless liquid, low boiling point (87.2°C), excellent degreasing ability, rapid evaporation, non-flammable, good solvency for oils and greases.
Main Applications by Industry:
Metal Degreasing & Parts Cleaning: For vapor degreasing and cold cleaning of metal parts to remove oils, greases, waxes, and cutting fluids in automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing industries.
Electronics Industry: As cleaning agent for printed circuit boards (PCBs) and electronic components before assembly and coating.
Textile Processing: For scouring, desizing, and spot cleaning of fabrics; also used in dry cleaning as a spotting agent.
Chemical Synthesis: As an intermediate or solvent in the production of refrigerants (HFC-134a), hydrofluorocarbons, and other chlorinated compounds.
Adhesives & Coatings: As solvent in specialized adhesives, sealants, paints, varnishes, and paint strippers.
Metal Finishing: As degreasing agent before electroplating, phosphating, or applying protective coatings.
Rubber Industry: For dissolving and processing certain rubber compounds and as a vulcanizing agent carrier.
Extraction Solvent: Used in extraction processes for natural products and oils in industrial settings (declining use).
Handling & Safety:
Solvent vapor may cause dizziness, headaches, and respiratory irritation. Prolonged or repeated exposure can affect the central nervous system, liver, and kidneys. Use with adequate ventilation (fume hood or local exhaust). Wear chemical-resistant gloves (e.g., PVA or barrier laminate), goggles, and respirator if needed. Store in cool, well-ventilated area away from heat and incompatible materials (strong oxidizers, alkalis). Handle as a potential occupational carcinogen — follow workplace safety guidelines.
